However, I don;t agree with the points taken, whether its the rules or not is irelevent. Its what happens in fights normally that should be the standard.

Now, I have nearly 2000 fights on vhs, dvd and hard drive going back to the 60's and iv'e watched them all and most at least 3-4 times and i can't for the life of me remember a fighter being docked points for pushing.

Ali used to hold guys on the inside and then push them off and punch all the time. It was almost his signature move post the vietnam ban.

I think it was more so because Khan was using his elbow when pushing off but i dont know should he habe had points deducted for the pushing.What he should have had points deducted for was the constantly pulling Petersons head down Miguel Diaz before Maidana Khan warned Cortez about this and Cortez proceded to do **** all about it.I felt Peterson deserved the win

If you are warned about something as often as Khan was and continue to do it, you're asking for points to be taken. He was pushing down on Peterson constantly then shoving him off, he wasn't taking the warning's on board so point deductions followed.

The 2nd point deduction was for a number of things though, not only did he push down and shove, he then hit Peterson with a big uppercut when the ref was breaking them.

Sure he was being warned, I cant honestly remember someone even being warned for pushing off. Why was the ref on it from the start.

I find it hard to believe that in a 100 years of boxing this is the worst case of pushing there's ever been.

Yes its technically illegal but its been let go forever. Technically floyd's shoulder roll lean away defense is illegal because he turns his back on his opponent a little bit but its allowed because its just part of the game.

If he fought Pac and lost by a point and lost 2 points for turning his back there would be outrage.
